Mr. Shen was in a great hurry to divide the family property, as the first wife had always been his hope.

He poured all his energy into the first wife, but he never expected that she would be so disappointing.

Old man Shen's heart was bleeding with pain, but he had no intention of favoring the first wife. He was in a dilemma.

At the request of the eldest wife, Old Man Shen couldn't bear to watch his eldest grandson being forced to death by the people in the gambling house.

He gritted his teeth and took out the deed for 20 mu of paddy fields, and said, "My family has 25 mu of paddy fields and 12 mu of mountain land. The eldest brother's family has enjoyed the support of the family for so many years."

"Now his two sons have grown up. We have used all our family's resources to send the two grandsons of the eldest wife to school for many years."

"Look at what they read. They spend the family money on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, while the two of us old people, along with the second and third wives, stay at home and drink wild vegetable porridge."

"Now Shen Mingkuan has actually done something that brings shame to our ancestors. He is really ashamed of our ancestors! The gambling debt of 500 taels of silver is not even worth 500 taels even if we sell our entire Shen family."

Old Man Shen became more and more excited as he spoke. He covered his aching chest and continued:

"The first wife's family is so disappointing, we can't count on them anymore. I've decided that our branch will be inherited by the third wife."

"Twenty acres of paddy fields will be given to the third room, five acres of paddy fields will be given to the second room, and twelve acres of mountain land. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone was shocked. It was always the eldest son who inherited the branch and the majority of the family property.

Old man Shen does not recognize the status of the eldest son's wife and wants her to leave the house with nothing!

Shen Laoer and Shen Mingshan nodded at the same time and said they had no objection.

They were also shocked. They didn't expect Old Man Shen to be so courageous.

Dad/Grandpa doesn’t want the eldest wife’s family anymore?

Old man Shen burst into tears: "I'm afraid! I'm afraid that if I give the land to the eldest wife, they will squander it all!"

The people in the big room thought they had heard it wrongly. Boss Shen asked in disbelief:

"Dad, what did you say? You won't give us even one acre of land?"

Old Man Shen glared at Old Man Shen: "Not only will the one acre of land be given to you, but you, the eldest son, will not get a share of this house either."

Boss Shen was furious: "Why? Don't you want us to support you in your old age? I'm the eldest, all these should belong to me."

"Why should we give it to the second and third wives? Who are they? They should all be kicked out of the house, but you actually gave them all the family property. Are you getting old and confused?"

Old man Shen stood up with a bang, raised his hand and slapped Boss Shen:

"I'm old and confused, do I need you to support me? Do I need you to feed me and eat wild vegetable porridge every day?"

"Who do I need to support? I don't need anyone to support me. Your mother and I will live our own lives from now on."

"I want an unfilial beast like you to raise me? Let me tell you, you are the one who will be kicked out of the house. I have the final say in this family. I can give it to whoever I want. You have no right to say anything."

Old Man Shen slapped Boss Shen so hard that he became dizzy and dazed. He looked at his father in disbelief.

Is this still the father who always favored their eldest son? Could Dad be possessed by a ghost?

You old bastard, just wait until you come to ask me for help in the future!

He gritted his teeth, thought of those people in the gambling house, and continued to refute unwillingly, but was slapped several times by Old Man Shen. Then he slumped in the chair in anger and unwillingness.

The people in the first house were almost furious. They stared at Old Man Shen as if he were their enemy, wishing they could kill this old man right now.

Shen Mingzi was about to go crazy. How could her father be so useless? Go and fight for it!

And this damn old man, why doesn’t he just die?

The people outside the courtyard who were watching the excitement, including the village chief and the elders, took a deep breath.

They suspect they have heard it wrong.

What? Old Man Shen, who always favored the eldest wife, actually forced the eldest wife to leave the house and kicked out the whole family.

It has never happened before that the eldest son doesn't want to inherit the family property!

Boss Shen and his friends really broke Old Man Shen's heart!

After dividing the land, Old Man Shen went on to divide the family's money, and Old Lady Shen took out the remaining money.

Everyone looked at the white silver on the table and took a deep breath. How could the Shen family be so rich?

Even the village chief and clan elders stared at the silver in disbelief, thinking that the Shen family was the same as them.

He was just an ordinary farmer, with only a dozen taels of silver in his home. But no one would have thought that the old Shen family actually had three hundred and fifty taels of silver.

Three hundred and fifty taels of silver! This is something that the peasants will never see in their lifetime.

When Boss Shen and Mrs. Li saw the silver, they rushed forward to grab it. They didn’t get the land or the house, but the silver should at least be given to them, right?

As soon as they stretched out their hands, the old lady slapped them away.

The old lady declared domineeringly: "This money is mine. I have the final say on how to divide it."

"Boss, your family is too much. You have never been filial to us two old people. Don't you have a share of this money?"

What? We have no share of the silver?

Shen Lao Da and Li were in a state of panic. Li couldn't take it anymore. She slapped her thigh and started to act like a spoiled brat:

"Oh my god! The old Shen family is trying to force our eldest branch to death! You old Shen family are too cruel!"

"Oh my god! Oh my God! The Shen family wants us, the eldest branch, to die! If you don't want us to live, I will die today to show you."

After saying that, she pretended to hit the pillar, but found that no one paid any attention to her. She could only lie down on the ground, sit on it and cry and make a fuss.

She really cried. The eldest wife didn't get any share of the family property. How would their family live in the future?

If the old Shen family does not give them a share of the ancestral home, it means that they do not recognize that their eldest branch is a branch of the old Shen family. Their eldest family will be criticized by outsiders, which will affect the careers of their descendants.

The two old fools in the Shen family are destroying the livelihood of the eldest branch of the family!

Old Man Shen looked at the sad and depressed Boss Shen, and felt a little regretful in his heart whether he had been too cruel.

Shen Mingshu saw what Old Man Shen was thinking, and fearing that the old man would go back on his word, he quickly said:

"Grandpa, you don't have to feel guilty. We won't compete with Second Uncle and his family for the family property."

"All this property is earned by you. I will earn more for my parents in the future. You can divide it however you want. We have no objection."

The people in the second branch were very excited. They never expected that the old man would give them so much property when he divided the family property today.

Old Mrs. Shen divided the 350 taels of silver among the second and third wives, giving each wife 150 taels. The remaining 50 taels were kept by the two elders for their retirement, and the first wife did not receive a penny.

When the people in the big room heard this, they started crying again.

Li made up his mind, stood up again, and made a scene without caring about anything:

"Why? We are the first wife, and we are the first wife to provide for your retirement. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"

Old man Shen was furious and slammed the table and yelled:

"Boss, keep your wife under control. I'm not dead yet, and I still have the final say in this family."

Mrs. Li was even more angry. "Why should the second and third wives share the family's money equally, but our first wife gets nothing?"

"That money should belong to the Shen family. We should share it all. You are biased. I don't accept it. You are going too far."

Shen Mingkuan had just woken up. Seeing that his grandfather was willing to give him land to repay his gambling debts, he felt that the old man was still on his side. He said fearlessly:

"Grandpa, you can't do this! If you don't give us anything, how can I pay my gambling debt? I owe the gambling house 500 taels of silver."

"You asked Shen Mingzhu to take out 500 taels of silver. Isn't Shen Mingzhu very good at making money?"

"If she doesn't take the money, I'll sell her. After selling her, I'll sell the land and the old house, and my gambling debt will be paid off."

Old man Shen was so angry that he slapped Shen Mingkuan in the face and pointed at him angrily and cursed:

"You, such an unfilial son, actually said such a thing. You actually said such a beastly thing as selling out your cousin."

"Okay, very good! You're going to piss me off to death!"

He was so angry that he almost passed out, tears streaming down his face, and he gasped:

"All the money our family has earned over the years has been taken away by your first wife. Even the second wife is working like a slave for your first wife. If the money to pay off the gambling debt is not enough, you can go sell the house in your town!"

"Sell your cousin, why don't you sell your own sister? You are worse than a beast. How could I teach you such a heartless beast?"

When they heard about the silver from the sale of the town, Hu and Li became instantly anxious.

Li's mouth was covered by Boss Shen. She struggled and wanted to argue, but she couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Hu, with her belly sticking out, argued: "Grandpa, you can't be so partial!"

"The old Shen family has not split up. All the money in the house belongs to the old Shen family. The money Shen Mingzhu earns outside should be handed over to the old Shen family."

"Now that her eldest cousin is in trouble, she should use the money to pay off his debts. Why would she let us sell the house in town? If the house in town is sold, where will we live?"

Shen Mingzhu laughed angrily: "How can there be so many shoulds? Your eldest family was eating and drinking lavishly in town, and how come you didn't think of us when you were having a good time?"

"Why didn't you think of us when your family was eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks?"

"If you sell your house in town, don't you still have a house in the county? Wouldn't it be better to live in the county after selling your house in town?"

Shen Mingzhu's words stunned Mrs. Hu, "What house in the county town? When did we have a house in the county town?"

She looked at Li and Boss Shen in confusion, and saw Boss Shen and his wife shaking their heads. They turned their gazes to Shen Mingkuan. When they met Shen Mingkuan's flickering eyes, Hu's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

When Shen Mingkuan saw that the truth had been revealed, he immediately jumped out to accuse Shen Mingzhu:

"Shen Mingzhu, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I have a house in town? If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you to death."

Shen Mingzhu was not afraid of Shen Mingkuan at all, and dropped another bombshell:

"My dear cousin, you have not studied seriously in the county town these years. You used your family's money to buy a house in the county town, and you also have a mistress who gave birth to a child for you."

"Oh, and uncle, your concubine gave birth to two children for you!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you two are amazing! You have one at home and you are still having more outside. How many children are you planning to raise?"

Shen Mingzhu looked like she was looking forward to a good show and asked Li,

"Haha, Auntie doesn't know about this yet, right?"

Shen Mingzhu's words shocked everyone. When Li heard that there was a mistress, she yelled and went to fight Shen Lao Da. Hu was stunned for a while and then started to fight Shen Mingkuan.

There was a commotion in the yard, and the people watching outside opened their mouths in surprise.

Concubine? Illegitimate child? Both the father and the son had concubines and illegitimate children, and they kept it a secret from the old Shen family and let their parents eat wild vegetable porridge, while they themselves kept concubines and bought houses.

Is that human being?

Li cried and screamed in agony. She never expected that

The man she trusted the most actually raised a child outside of her home. Not only that, but the mistress also gave birth to two illegitimate children for him.

She's been treated like a fool for so many years!
